Large coffees
I'm posting this from the local Costa again, as is my want (wont. Bloody pedants ;) ), and seeing as my day has so far been as interesting as a new 11th Sept conspiracy theory, I thought I'd order myself a large coffee instead of the usual tall thin "medium" glass. After all, it's only an extra 30p or so...

My God. How big is a large cup of coffee? I'm sure I've seen paddling pools that are less wide and deep. I'm not sure the woman behind the counter didn't mumble some kind of warning about caffeine poisoning before she slid the bucket of latte towards me, before calling her cohorts over to laugh at me as I struggled to carry the bloody thing across the room.

Apologies in advance for any (more) relentless rubbish I end up posting tonight when I'm still awake at 5am!

Btw, I'm secretly overjoyed at the size of it, and that's a sentence I don't get to say very often lol

You're avoiding the question
That we all want to know...
Can you wear it as a hat?

I reckon so.

But I'm in North London, so no one would bat an eyelid if I did ;)

Drink the coffee
Dry the cup/bucket with a handy paper napkin.

Put it on your head.

Take a photo on your phone.

Share the joy on this dreary Tuesday afternoon.

Ooh me too!
Bonus points if you manage to get anyone else to wear it as well!

Do it!
It'd make me happy.

pffft
It's caffeine, not alcohol!

There's more chance of getting shit from a rocking horse, truth from a politician and a scouser buying The Sun!

Though I admit it sounds like a cracking idea and heartily recommend others to try it :)

hmmm
@bgb: squeak squeak!

Besides, I have no idea how to upload the pic on here when I'm surfing on the phone.

Had there been someone on here egging me on, I dare say I'd have done it in a shot and uploaded it later. (yeah, right)

You already said
No one would bat an eyelid if you did it, so just do it!

Al the image of someone with a coffee cup on their head flailing about in the middle of a coffee shop full of un-phased Laandaaners is brilliant :)

Picky indeed, Enzyme
And al, large does have more coffee. Or at least they do where I work.

more or less coffee, but more wind.
enzyme: consider it amended, you picky sod ;)

Re: the same amount of coffee. Yes, it SHOULD be the same amount, but given that a "medium" is a tall thin glass, most of the coffee ends up down the side where the coffee monkeys that make it have the eye to hand co-ordination of a blind leper with parkinsons.

On a side note, I have terrible wind, and am going to blame that on the coffee too, regardless or not it's true ;)
